The first step is draining the oil. (Very
important), this must be done even before you start the engine. When
Pit bikes come from the manufacturer or I should really say the engine
manufacture, they are tested to see if all the mechanical parts work
but the manufacturer does not run it in. From the journey overseas to
your country the engine manufactures put in a substitution engine oil
just for this journey. This oil's only purpose is the absorb moisture
comes from the sea which is built up in over the duration of the
journey. When you drain the oil by removing the sump bolt (usually a
17mm nut) if you look closely the color of the oil won't be that dark
in fact it looks like cooking oil. It will contain a lot of bubbles
which is water trapped in the oil. This is the moisture from the sea
captured by the oil.
The second important thing you will notice
is the oil contains small engine shavings. These metal shaving come
from the engine itself. It'hasn't been run in and the engine still has
rough particles that have broken off and absorbed by the oil.
By
draining the oil you remove the weaker moister capturing oil along with
the metal shavings. These shaving however minute can ruin your engine
internals over time. replace the engine oil with a branded engine oil.
Motor bike engine oil 15w-40w for 4 stroke bikes trusted brands like
Shell, Valvoline or Silkolene. You will need to add about 850ml-900ml
(less than a liter) for 125cc engines, a little more for 140cc or 150cc
oil cooled engines.
After replacing the old oil with the new oil,
go through the running in process which is ride the bike for two tanks
of fuel at half throttle only. Strictly only use up to second gear for
this stage then open the throttle after run in and go hard.
